Idaho State Fiddle Champ


Since Amber is humble as well as talented--I am finding myself creating my first Blog post, I hope that I don't mess it up too badly. About 6 weeks ago Amber decided to participate in the Idaho Open Fiddle Contest. Amber hadn't been playing very much lately and she decided at the last minute to enter the contest. She entered the Young Adult division and she WON!!! She did a phenomenal job and because she won a certified contest she got to perform in a special division at the national contest that is held every year in Weiser Idaho--so a couple of weeks ago she went and played there and I'm not just saying this because she my wife--I'm saying it because it is the truth--she was incredible!!!
It seems to me that Amber has not been putting as much pressure on herself lately when she competes and as a result she is much more relaxed and she does such a great job!!!
